I found out the updates are 24 bit and library size is smaller than the 16 bit. The only draw back is K7 and above.

not for me.........way too much space needed. I have one of theirs that eats 60gb With all of the synths I have I can't see this standing out as space taken up well worth it.

Look at the disk space used by Modo Bass. So unlike developers these days, Hoping for more physical modeling. There is a company out there famous for it. I never remember the name. Sampletank was also like my second rompler. It was a poor man's Gigastudio but unfortunately those sounded like you get what you pay for. Some were done by a 3rd party developer - Sonic Reality. I still have his refills. It didn't take long for IK to ditch the iLok. Their licensing is generous.

https://www.audioimperia.com/product/glade/ Very nice library. You can get the bloated version as well.

Pricey but with OT you can buy the patches you want.

There's the danger. You might be forced to use Kontakt 8. I have 8 but I still like 6 since it's not like opening iTunes. BTW what is not listed in NA but the minimum requirement is K7.

We need a bitch slap emoji for hijacking. We are all guilty.

I'm a fan of Modo Bass. I would love to see other developers delve into sample modeling instead of promoting bloat. I'm jealous that deals like this never existed around the turn of the century. Free stuff back then was bad as well.

that one is not so tempting. I have 3 of those so the other two are 79 euro each.

VOTA isn't very good for a EW library.

I think it shows there is always inconsistency and sometimes brand loyalty gets in the way.

I wouldn't worry about it. EW does not consider it a legacy product. Funny I was almost tempted to buy not a SSD but a 6TB WD Black. I thought I could move some of the hoard off a SSD on to it and move it back when needed. I've removed over 200GB of Kontakt libraries which were free ones. I have not download all of Komplete U either.

The DAW myth. I read some members on VI Control still use this. Someone here said they use it more than the bloated HO. The biggest concern is the space needed for Hollywood Orchestra. How much stuff from Waves is older like Maxx plugins but people still use them. Age is overrated. I'm was watching a thread about a new bloated library people were gushing over. Never mind that unique library eats up over 300gb of space.

Thinking about a 2nd license. I like this one.

Sort of. Can be bloated to EW proportions. I had to delete all of their free stuff to make room. I haven't really learn how to use it yet. You get nice crossgrade price if you have the Kontatk versions. Since I had every string library I ended up with Adastra Strings for $50. I do like Disco Strings. It seems you can tweak a lot of it. You can even make your own libraries.

I have an external USB nvme 2TB drive and for got to format it and almost filled. exfat is not a good idea unless you use Mac as well. I don't. Now I have to start over. Hopefully it is faster.

Hopefully I'm getting a sense of reality with too many sample libraries. Something has to give when you almost max out 7TB of libraries. Getting larger drives is always a solution but then you max out 10TB. I live for the day when developers don't promote bloat is better. The end user can't seem to divorce that idea either. I've cleared over 200GB of Kontakt stuff. Take inventory of how much you really use in Komplete. How much can be run off a HDD? What I liked about some of those Sonokinetic libraries is you can install 16 bit versions.

I have no desire to game in 4K. I'm still using a 1660. I have no desire to upgrade the most overpriced piece of hardware.

90GB? EW and Soundpaint are jealous.

Who told you that? nVidia? Cases are such a crapshoot. I try to keep using the old ones and I still use a 5.25 bay. I still use HDDs for storage.

Sometimes I do it for the extra license since I have 3 machines.

It's not the old NI or Izotope we are dealing with. K7 to me was a blemish.

these require iLok?

Read those updates thoroughly. If you still like using Kontakt 6 some of your libraries won't open.
